Sabrina Carpenter is clearing the air on her relationship with Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian!
As Perezcious readers know, the Espresso singer shocked the world in April when she starred in a SKIMS campaign despite being an opener on The Eras Tour and her close relationship with the pop star (who has had a very public feud with the reality star for years). It seemed super shady, but Sabrina insisted there were no hurt feelings, telling Rolling Stone after that she was “very communicative” with Taylor about the brand deal, explaining:
“As much as people want to believe you’re tuned into every little thing, I’m not because I’m constantly working. In that scenario, I’ve been very, very communicative with her about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end.”
Well, fans quickly took that as she had to ask the Anti-Hero vocalist for “permission” to do the modeling gig, which also rubbed some people the wrong way. The whole thing just seemed super messy — and maybe even calculated on Kim’s part, considering some of the other stars she tapped for campaigns at the time!

So, in a new interview with Variety out on Tuesday, the Disney Channel alum was eager to shut down the narrative once and for all. After noticing Taylor’s album The Tortured Poets Department was in the rock section at a record store, Sabrina gushed:
“Well, Taylor is a rock star! She’s just such a gangster with all of it. No matter what people are saying, everything that I’ve ever seen her tackle, she’s done so with grace. The posts about me having to ‘ask for her permission’ — no. She’s one of my best, best friends, and we grab dinner or text and catch up like you would with your best friend.”
She also opened up about leaning on the Grammy winner and her other A-lister pals for support amid her growing career, gushing:
“It’s so cool for me to get a perspective on this whole process from her and the community of artists that I feel I’m close to — to get advice from them on stuff that you can’t just ask the internet. We’re always playing each other our [music], and whenever I start to think, ‘Maybe I’ll get on Twitter and say something about this,’ I’m always like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song instead.’”
Aw!
Glad to know this decision didn’t cause as much controversy BTS as some fans speculated it may have. Taylor being so chill about this also says a lot. She might not be over her beef with Kim and Kanye West, but, at her core, the girl is a businesswoman. She wanted her bestie to get her bag! Gotta love that. Hah!
